Just Add Glam

the San Francisco lifestyle blog by JENNIFER HENRY-NOVICH

October 29, 2012 / FASHION

Happy Birthday

Dress: Alexander McQueen, similar by Alexander McQueen, McQ, and Clover Canyon // Heels: Vince Camuto, similar here // Hat: DIY, cap from ASOS // Ring: Banana Republic, similar here // Necklace: unknown, similar here // Nails: OPI William Tell Me About It

Ladies and gentlemen, a very special post for you today…Happy birthday to me and my little blog, Just Add Glam!  Its kind of crazy how fast this year has flown by but I am so grateful for all of the wonderful people I have met who have inspired me to share my ideas on fashion and style.  My family, friends, and fans are what keep me inspired so thank you for a great year…and here’s to another one!

Another year older, but my inner child still likes to shine though sometimes…like when we are on the way to lunch and all I want to do is go climb on a nearby train (in and dress and heels, obviously).  This Alexander McQueen dress was an early birthday present to myself and I’m thrilled to have found it.  I found this beautiful printed dress on sale–marked down from I don’t even want to know how much–for $79 which practically made me faint from excitement.  To match a gorgeously dramatic dress, I added a veil in the form of my DIY Jil Sander-inspired knit cap.

    I’m still dumbfounded at what you paid fr this beauty. We need to do some hunting together because I’m hopping your shopping luck will rub off on me 😉 Beyond that having seen some of the pieces separately doesn’t do this entire look justice. You are killin’ it! The backdrop it AMAZE. What tracks are these. It’s the perfect location and the DIY beenie the bestest accessory ever! I can’t pick a favorite photo… I just can’t…. too good

    You definitely strike gold with this fab print MCQ dress and made the glam net and beanie combo so much more wearable for the faint hearted.

Picked up a few clothing items this week including this two-tone dress which I LOVE! And love it with my new sandals of the summer 🤩☀️

With a 6 month old and toddler transitioning to hi With a 6 month old and toddler transitioning to his big boy bed, I’m not exactly getting 8 hours of sleep each night #ad 

Lately I’ve been making a point to optimize my sleep quality to help make up for my lack in quantity right now. That means optimizing my routine with small changes to help wind down before bed: 

- I’m putting my phone on sleep mode to keep me from spending too much time on it before bed. 

- I’m using red light only an hour before bed to support my circadian rhythms. 

- I’m supplementing with melatonin to achieve better sleep. @zzzquil’s PURE Zzzs Melatonin Gummies include the optimal amount of melatonin so I don’t wake up feeling groggy* the next morning. 

You can find PURE Zzzs Melatonin Gummies at your favorite local retailer - check out my story to see how you can join the #BetterSleepin12Zzz campaign too!

I just got the new @clorox Multi-Purpose Refillable Cleaner at home and had to get one for here too! I love the more sustainable swap where you can just refill, reload, and reuse. So helpful to have one cleaner that works on all my surfaces too, like sealed granite, glass, appliance exteriors, etc. with 10x the cleaning power*! Purchase today at Target #CloroxRefillableCleaners @clorox

I’ve been looking to make the switch to a refillable cleaning product and found the NEW @clorox Multi-Purpose Refillable Cleaner @Target…it’s perfect! I love this as a more sustainable option since it uses 80% less plastic waste* and when I'm out, I just need to buy the concentrate vs. a full bottle which means less shipping costs too! This bleach free cleaner gets all the sticky messes and handprints off all my surfaces—counters, floors, highchairs, etc. Just refill, reload, & reuse! Buy now from Target! #CloroxRefillableCleaners *By replacing thirty Clorox 16 fl oz spray cleaners.
